About

With their rigorous climate marked by a distinct seasonal cycle, northern territories are gifted with unique fauna and flora adapted to their extreme reality: game, fresh water fish, wild fruit, forest mushrooms, lichen… inspired by these unique elements, a rising number of chefs are exploring this once neglected exceptional culinary legacy.

In Quebec, Jean-Luc Boulay and Arnaud Marchand, supported by a passionate team, have been standing up to the challenge of inventing quebec inspired northern cuisine since 2012. Connecting the abundant proximity of boreal forests and the exceptional quality of local products, they salvage amidst french techniques to favour a true encounter of flavours. Local, healthy and inventive, the Northern cuisine from Quebec expresses within each bite the very best of our emerging culinary tradition.

Toujours excellent & savoureux.
Par contre, le drink du jour à 17$ ... c'est plutôt dispendieux. Je m'attendais à 12/13$ (comme les autres boissons sur la carte).

Tous les plats étaient exquis, de la soupe à l'oignon cappuccino qui est incroyable au boudin noir tellement savoureux & parfaitement cuit & la joue de boeuf braisée & j'en passe. Le service est parfait & tout le personnel est professionnel & accueillant! On adore toujours retourner chez Boulay!

L'accueil & le service étaient plus qu'impeccables!
Toutefois, nous aurions apprécié une petite touche plus gastronomique au niveau du menu, & celui-ci avait d'ailleurs bien peu changé en 1 an.
